11:40 pm - Third review interrupted

So, this was all going very well yesterday, as feeling a little ill made it even easier to ignore house cleaning than ever, for a good reading session. But at 7:30 I got a call from my mother, who'd just come down with a gastric flu/food poisoning/something nasty. So no reading was done from 7:30 until 12:30, when the after-hours doctor had made his call, and my mother was tucked in bed and feeling a hell of a lot better than she had been when I arrived at her house. I almost finished the third book I'd been reading, The Gift Boat, by Peter Dickinson, before turning off the light and not going to sleep for a long time and didn't get to resume reading until after 1 today, when I was back home. But I certainly wasn't going for any number of books read/reviwed prize anyway. Tonight's write-ups have been interrupted by more trips to get and take up to my mother invalid food, as well as the regular family communication, and family (four-legged) walking. All (two, yay me) reviews tonight were written while fairly stupefied with exhaustion, but more tomorrow, hopefully when wider-awake...
